Satisfying Soups & Stews

When the weather turns chilly, it’s time for back-to-school, for cozy quilts, and to turn our focus from summer’s farmer’s market bounty to fall’s more filling fare. We’re thankful for these easy soup and stew recipes, which are real fall comfort foods that you can put on the table without too much fuss. Fall soup recipes are fantastic heat and eat meals–simply make a double batch and freeze for another day. Hearty beef and vegetable soup, thirty minute chili, and light, brothy turkey soup laced with lemongrass are some of our favorite fall soups. Easy stew recipes get our vote for nights when we need something a little heartier to chase away the chill–we love a chunky shrimp and sausage stew that’s simpler than gumbo but just as tasty. And what’s better comfort food than a quick and easy Brunswick stew? If you can think of something, let us know. In the meantime, stock up on crusty bread, dust off your ladles, and get in the kitchen with our favorite easy soup and stew recipes.
